Car adverts are allowed nowadays to mentioning speeding or to promote it.
https://www.asa.org.uk/advice-online/motoring.html
The Code contains specific rules on marketing communications for motoring. For example marketing communications for motor vehicles, fuel or accessories should avoid portraying or referring to practices that encourage or condone anti-social behaviour or unsafe or irresponsible driving
The rule that car marketers most frequently breach is 19.4, which states that, whilst marketing communications may give general information about a vehicle's performance such as acceleration and mid-range statistics, braking power, road holding and top speed, marketers must not make speed or acceleration claims the main message of their marketing communications

E.g this was infringing the rules. Incredibly tame compared to the 60s/70s advertising.
Apparently the blurred lights was found to imply the car speeding.

Xr3 isn't it. I think the 3i was released a year or two later.

A rare example where an engineer thought about the mechanic.

Imagine that popping out in an emergency stop

Although I was thinking more, "Come on love, sick it up, you know you shouldn't have eaten it"

I wonder if that design did away with an internal engine cover in the bus compartment. If so then working on the drivetrain with it running could be quite awkward.

That's quite funny with hindsight. Not that I have ever been in one.
